Kohli, who scored his 11th Test hundred in India and 8th as captain at home, was also the second fastest to 24 Test centuries after Don Bradman (66) as the Indian cricket team skipper took 123 innings to reach the milestone.

Tendulkar was 17 years and 107 days old while Shaw is 18 years and 329 days old when he got to his century. His innings was laced with 15 boundaries.

Shaw just needed 99 balls to get the landmark as he toyed with the weakened West Indies bowling, which missed captain Jason Holder and pacer Kemar Roach. Subsequently, Shaw offered an easy return catch to leggie Devendra Bishoo trying to play against the turn. However, Shaw remained unfazed and kept playing his natural game in the company of Cheteshwar Pujara.

Shaw's innings was studded with 19 fours while Pujara hit 14 boundaries before poking at a length ball half-heartedly to wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich off pacer Sherman Lewis, who bagged his first Test scalp.

The Mumbaikar punched the second ball he faced towards the cover boundary for a three, his first runs in global cricket, easing whatever nerves left inside.
